Thread: contractor's license

I have seen landscape contractors licenses mentioned in some of the trade magazines. I wanted to know what was necessary to obtain a landscape contractor's license. Is it similar to a General Contractor's License? I have seen Landscape Contractor Certifications offered by the PCCA? and the LMA, but is it accepted by the state? By the way I'm in Florida.<br> My other question is if you do yard lights or water ponds is a special license or permit needed to hook up the electric or water lines? Thanks.<br>Chris H.
